Kassia Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Any recommendations on an eyelash curler? Or just not use one? I rarely wear make up, but one of my sons is getting married soon and I was thinking an eyelash curler might be nice. I have no idea what to get. I don't want to spend a lot on one since I don't expect to be using it regularly. Anyone have an inexpensive one they like? I prefer it comes from Amazon, otherwise Walmart or Target next since i'll order online. I found one at Walmart that looks good, but it's out of stock there and at Amazon. UPDATE - not getting the curler and will try primer and maybe some different mascaras to see what I like best. 🙂 Edited March 17 by Kassia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 My eyes are too deep set for an eyelash curler. If I curl my lashes they’ll touch just under my eyebrows. I get more dramatic lashes from using a mascara primer. It’s not as over the top or troublesome as false lashes, but it is a noticeable difference without having to learn a new skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a primer you could recommend? Not having to learn a new skill is appealing! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I generally wander the make up aisles and grab the first one I see. 😬 My current brand is L’Oréal. It looks like a tube of white mascara. I’ve never bought one that didn’t work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Curling does nothing for me either. Fwiw, one year I trialed 15 different mascaras (samplers and other full sized). I took photos each time so I could get true comparisons. Honest Beauty has a mascara that comes with a primer, but CoverGirl lash blast ($10) did a better job. Do two coats with a few minutes separating them. Fwiw, that tube does have a primer (sold separately). Play around and see if it makes a difference for you.

Will definitely play around before the wedding and see primer vs. different mascaras. ETA - thanks for the tip to wait a few minutes between coats. I didn't know that.

In the past I’ve purchased whatever brand has the primer on the other end of the mascara; so one tube. It’s hard to find that in anything but black and I really need to wear a brown mascara for everyday makeup or it looks glaringly fake. It’s a look, and not a bad one, but black eyelashes do not pass for natural on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best lashes I've ever had. Thank you so much! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siblings and their SOs would have been invited, but they all live far away so they weren't told until right before the ceremony. We're going to do a family celebration/vow ceremony when everyone is available to get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much easier than fussing with false eyelashes and the results are kinda Wow. 🥰 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
